[1] Represents costs related to the fumigation related matters described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We exclude these charges from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they do not reflect our ongoing operations and because we believe doing so is useful to investors in aiding period-to-period comparability.

[2] Represents an adjustment to the Company's accrued self-insured claims related to automobile, general liability and workers' compensation risks. The adjustment is based on the Company's detailed annual assessment of this actuarially determined accrual, which the Company completes in the second quarter of each year. This adjustment relates to coverage periods of 2015 and prior. We have excluded this discrete second quarter adjustment from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it does not reflect our ongoing operations and because we believe doing so is useful to investors in aiding period-to-period comparability. Adjustments to accrued self-insured claims related to this insurance program of $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $4 million and $6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were recorded as charges in total Adjusted EBITDA. There were no similar adjustments recorded as charges in total Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended September 30, 2016.
